Bowyers primarily made traditional wooden bows, including longbows and recurve bows. Longbows, characterized by their tall, straight design, were commonly used in medieval Europe for warfare and hunting. Recurve bows, with tips that curve away from the archer when unstrung, offered greater power and efficiency in a more compact form. Bowyers also crafted various other types of bows, depending on cultural practices and specific uses.
